One of my favorites. The oatmeal stout has a wonderful stout flavor and creaminess and one of the best mouth feels I’ve had in a beer. I find it very satisfying.

Pours jet black with just a trace of tan head. Aroma is not as stong as I’d expect, chocolate and burnt malts. Taste is malts and oatmeal with a wave of hops coming through for a bittersweet finish. Thick mouthfeel. Overall an excellent oatmeal stout.

Pours dark brown with a large tan head. Smells roasted and hints of chocolate. Taste is chocolate and roast. Medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture and soft mouth-carbonation, New Holland The Poet finishes roasted and sweet.

Aroma is rich, smoky, oily with an undertone of unsweetened chocolate and just a touch of molasses. It pours a deep chocolaty sable with a thick but not too persistent tan head. Rich flavor fills the mouth with roast coffee, unsweetened chocolate and a hint of molasses and even a touch of hops. Texture is smooth and easy going yet leaves a nice tingly finish.

Very dark and heavy, even more so than Guinness. Thin tan head. Smoky with some dark chocolate flavor. They should really have a separate category for oatmeal stout, although there is a light sweet quality to this beer.

Amazingly smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The aroma makes you almost hungry. One of my favorite Oatmeal Stouts, which is saying something. On tap, this is truly incredible. In a bottle, its still pretty awesome.

Great fresh coffee aroma, some chocolate, and minty body. Black appearance, thin tan head.

Rich and fully bodied with a huge tan head. Roasted coffee is the dominant flavor with cocoa powder and burnt toast. Long sweet finish well tempered by a rise in hop bitterness towards the end.

12 oz. Opaque black with a four-finger head that settles into a lasting quarter-inch froth. Nose is peppery, smoked molasses with a faint metallic twinge. Flavor seems a perfect harmony of lots of flavors: molasses, hickory smoke, coffee, sour cream, brown sugar, ash, green herb. A tad larger than medium body is creamy smooth, watery enough to be sessionable, and pretty evenly divided between sweet and dry.

Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, molasses, coffee and banana (!). Poured a nice black, with a good creamy tan head that slowly receded into a creamy cap. Left nice lacing. Taste of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, milk chocolate. Medium body with creamy and oily texture. Soft carbonation. Unique finish that is sweet chocolate, then mild coffee in a long mildly bitter finish. A very nice stout. I will definitely buy again. A very good job by New Holland in what I consider to be a very unique stout. Served in a Pint.
